The last emperor was surnamed Qi, all the royal family are surnamed Qi(like the royal princess), the current emperor…
The grey haired guy is qi min, he is the crown prince’s son and the rightful heir to the throne, he is living under an alias as thr eldest son of the Sui family. The past emperor probably had a lot of sons, because chinese emperors had lots of sons, so Wei Yan just chose a useless weak son and put him on the throne.
someone needs to clear the hierarchy of the Royal Family. so in the past there is only one emperor and his surname…
The last emperor was surnamed Qi, all the royal family are surnamed Qi(like the royal princess), the current emperor is a son of the past emperor put on the throne by Wei Yan as a puppet. The grey haired Qi guy is the eldest son of the crown prince who died in battle along with Xie Zheng’s dad. So the Crown princess at that time set the palace on fire to create a diversion and let Qi Min(grey haired guy) escape. And Qi Min joined Changxin wang(Sui family) and took on a alias, to protect himself. So all in all, he is technically the rightful heir to the throne(which makes bao’er an heir as well).
Question: instead of telling his men she's already his wife, why did he ask her to marry him when they are already…
Its because he isn’t actually married to her. Because he didn’t use his real name. And the last time they met, they pretty much fought, so he just wants to make up and get married to her for real.
Without spoiling the drama, can anyone tell me if this is more serious toned or light hearted like the trailer?…
Its kind of both! But ZLH’s character is similar to SOPK , so it will be a bit angsty in the second half. But the first half is super funny and adorable:) If you have time, do read the novel
